Chapter 55: Liu Che, King of Liang!
The final result of the same incident in different situations is completely different, in today's world, Liu Qi killed two innocent nobles, one is his brother, and the other is the Duke of Qi, a very special aristocratic son, which is completely intolerable.
As Jia Yi said, the rabbit died and the fox was sad, clan relatives, relatives, princes, officials, students, etc. could not tolerate such vicious incidents, although the royal family was honorable, but it must not kill people for no reason.
The biggest difference between this world and the real world, in addition to the existence of Rockwell, is probably the difference in the underlying background of thought, which is the most precious thing.
The concept of righteousness and benefit of the monarch and the ministers that Luo has been promoting, as well as the idea of restraining the power of the monarch, has long been deeply implanted in the subconscious of the people of Zhuxia and has become a subtle existence.
Although the idea of reciprocity has not yet penetrated into the bottom, there is actually a consensus among the elite that even the emperor cannot kill a nobleman or official at will without such a basis.
We are not slaves for you to whip at will, but courtiers to help you govern the world, and we should be respected.
There is no one in this world who wants to be a dog, although Meng Ru's thoughts are not talked about by ministers on the surface, but that can really be said to the hearts of the courtiers, who doesn't like it except the monarch?
didn't show it on weekdays, but the Liu Qi incident was like a hornet's nest, and it became an outlet for countless people to vent, especially the emperor asked the prime minister to test the tone, many people thought that the emperor was soliciting opinions, so naturally they dared to say it.
"The princes, princes, and princes of Qi were killed at will like wild dogs on the side of the road, so what are we?
This is really not tolerable, if we don't speak up today, when the sword is added the next day, will anyone still speak for us? ”
Those enthusiastic students in Taixue, no matter which school they are, are full of righteous indignation in the face of such a thing.
Liu Qi has been the prince for so many years, and naturally has a large number of his own supporters, and the power of the princeling party should not be underestimated, but how can a small group of people stop the general trend of the world?
Not to mention that there are people who want to pull Liu Qi into the water to secretly connect and guide, if there is a princeling, then there are people who oppose the prince, this is the natural principle of politics.
Countless pieces of music have flooded Changle Palace, and if bamboo slips are still used now, I am afraid that there will be no place for Liu Heng.
No one in these recitals proposed to abolish the crown prince, but all of them asked the emperor to punish him severely, so many courtiers wrote together, the prince's foundation has been completely destroyed, and it is impossible to ascend the throne again, unless Liu Heng clears the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but instead of doing that, it is better to replace the prince directly.
It was the first time since Liu Heng took power to see such a sad and indignant mood, although he had a hint of it, but it still shocked him, and said to Luo Jing: "The world is turbulent, this is the first time I have seen such a scene, like a surging river, Mount Tai is towering, it is really not something that can be stopped by manpower." ”
When Luo Jing heard this, he immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to congratulate you on this matter!"
If there is no holy monarch, even if it is a virtuous minister like the second duke of Wenxuan, there is no possibility of making contributions when encountering a monarch like Youli.
In the past, Prince Li was unpopular in the capital of Ho, and even captured all the countrymen who spoke ill of him, and his words against the countrymen were even more than the collapse of mountains and rivers, so the countrymen destroyed his brutal rule.
Now that the ministers dare to admonish you, and even dare to point out their faults to the crown prince, is it not because they know that you are a holy monarch?
It is for this reason that I congratulate you, there are countless virtuous ministers under your rule, under your leadership, so you have created the present meritorious deeds, and will create even greater meritorious deeds in the future.
The merits of the Holy King were thus obtained. ”
Liu Heng cleaned up his mood and understood more and more what King Luo Wen said about the more treacherous the world is, the more the emperor must hold his body.
Liu Heng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Ah Jing, you come to draw up the decree and summon King Liang back to Beijing." ”
Rumble!
As Liu Heng said this, the entire hall fell silent, even those palace ladies and eunuchs directly lowered their heads, and everyone understood the meaning of this sentence.
Liang Wang Liu Che!
The younger brother of the crown prince Qi's mother, in order to stabilize the position of the crown prince Qi, directly let him go out of Chang'an to guard the Xingyang defense line.
If Liu Qi is to be abolished as the crown prince, then the candidate to replace him, Liu Che, the king of Liang, should be extremely high, after all, he is the undisputed second son.
Unless Liu Heng is willing to make waves and choose those sons who are more favored by him.
Luo Jing didn't care who was the emperor, and immediately bowed down and said, "Obey, Your Majesty." ”
……
In the Queen's Hall of Changle Palace.
The queen looked at Liu Qi in front of her with hatred on her face, and lamented: "You are not loved by Your Majesty in the first place, and now you are doing this kind of thing, how can I help you." ”
Liu Qi said with tears on his face: "Queen Mother, the child knows that he is wrong, the father does not want to see the child, and he has been rejected many times to see him, and now the child can only rely on you."
If even you are unwilling to speak for the child, the child's position as the crown prince will definitely not be kept, and at that time, I am afraid that the relationship between you and my mother and son can only be continued in the next life. ”
After saying that, there were a few more weeps, and the queen sighed in her heart when she heard this, although she preferred her youngest son King Liang, and even wanted King Liang to be the crown prince, and even the future emperor.
But he is not without feelings for Liu Qi, if the price of King Liang being the emperor is Liu Qi's death, then it is better for Liu Qi to be the emperor.
Now hearing Liu Qi's words, the queen immediately hesitated, thinking about going to Changle Palace and the emperor to intercede for the prince.
Then a person she never expected came to her palace, it was the palace people who waited for the Empress Dowager Zhang Yan in Weiyang Palace, and sent her the will of the Empress Dowager, or a warning: "The Empress is of good character and has always taken the country's society as the priority, and I will give you nine beautiful jades to commend your virtue." ”
The queen's face suddenly turned pale when she heard this, and she understood that she was not allowed to go to the emperor to intercede, and she had to give priority to the country's social affairs and the position of the crown prince.
In the Han Dynasty, which ruled the world with filial piety, the status of the queen mother was too high, and she could almost stand side by side with the emperor as two monarchs.
Luo Xin's greatest kindness to Liu Heng was to return the emperor's power completely, did not let the queen mother regent, and asked Zhang Yan to give up interfering with Liu Heng's governance before his death.
Therefore, Zhang Yan does not hold the highest power of the empire like Lu Pheasant, and even the emperor has to bow down.
But this does not mean that Zhang Yan has no ability and power, she is the queen mother, and she still occupies the top of patriarchal law, national law and social morality.
Liu Qi froze on the spot, he didn't expect things to come to this point, he was just a prince and prince, and even the queen mother spoke directly, because she was so desperate in her heart that she couldn't even make a sadder expression.
At this time, another palace lady hurriedly walked in, came to the queen's side and whispered: "Heroine, Your Majesty ordered Dong Ahou to issue an order to summon the king back to Chang'an." ”
The princes and kings of the Han Dynasty can be called kings.
But in the queen's palace, there is only one person who can directly not talk about the throne and call the king, and that is Liu Che, the king of Liang.
If she usually knew that her favorite son King Liang could return to Chang'an, the queen would be inexplicably happy, but now that she knew that King Liang was coming back, the queen felt a burst of blackness in front of her, and of course she knew what King Liang was doing when he came back.
The emperor really wanted to change the crown prince, and the queen couldn't help but glance at the prince who was kneeling on the ground, her eyes were full of grief.
She has just two sons, but is she going to kill each other because of the throne?
The queen said sadly: "What kind of misfortune has happened to people at this age, have I created some evil, so God has sent punishment?" ”
These things in the Queen's Palace are naturally unknown to the outside world.
A column of heavily armed messengers rushed out of Chang'an with letters, and they numbered their horses, traveled lightly, and rushed out of Chang'an City at a gallop, attracting the attention of countless people.
Then the content of the holy decree spread throughout the entire Chang'an City, and the city seemed to press the pause button for a moment, and the next moment was even more noisy, and countless people were running to tell each other, King Liang returned to Beijing, even an ordinary person knew that the emperor wanted to change the prince.
Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, this is the first prince who may be abolished, because he killed the princes and the princes of Qi and lost his future emperor.
The prince of Jiaodong and the subordinates of the prince of Qi knew the news, and immediately knelt in the courtyard and kept bowing, although the prince and the prince could not come back from the dead, but at least the murderer paid a heavy price, and returned to the country to give the lord an explanation.
After the suicide of his own people, at least the clansmen will not be affected anymore.
Yes.
These people know very well that from the moment the lord was stoned to death by the crown prince Qiyi's chessboard, they couldn't live.
Martyrdom in battle was a moral trend during the Warring States period.
With the morality and customs inherited from that era in the Han Dynasty today, the courtiers did not fulfill their duty of protection, resulting in the murder of the monarch, which would be poked in the backbone, and even unable to raise their heads for the rest of their lives.
The only way to salvage one's reputation is to commit suicide or, as they do, to avenge the Lord first and then to the Lord.
The turmoil in Chang'an City has intensified, and countless people have praised Emperor Liu Heng for his unparalleled sage, and the messenger of the imperial court has already arrived in the Liang Kingdom with the holy decree.
